1. I found and bought in the Antwerp Fnac:

Robert Burns, The complete songs, volume 1
CKD 047 EAN 5-020305-600472 (Fnac internal code 5020305600472)
and
Robert Burns, The complete songs, volume 3
CKD 062 EAN 5-020305-600625 (Fnac internal code 5020305600625)

As to the booklet the complete series will have 12 CDs.
A question:
Does anybody know which CDs of the 12 are already available?

2. While the Flemish language disappeared in Dunkirk, the "Karnaval"
practices survided.

In the Antwerp Fnac the film on DVD "Karnaval", in French, by Thomas
Vincent, published by "France TV" EAN 3-357804-022309 (Fnac internal
code 3357804022309) is "on sale" (30% off on the normal price). The film
can be played well, but there is something odd with he activation of the
menu for the extras.

A summary:

In English
http://us.imdb.com/CommentsShow?0187200
A charming, sometimes funny film about a young Arab man on his way to
Marseilles who gets caught up in the carnival in Dunkirk, where everyone
lets their hair down and the normal rules of behaviour are waived for a
while. He falls in love with Bea, a young woman who is torn between her
attraction to the handsome young stranger and Christian, her husband.
Some moments of visual splendour adorn a simple tale about the foolish
little things we do in our lives.

 > I replaced, for a few days, with 3 "spoken sketch acts" in
respectively
> Limburgish, Brabantish and (West-)Flemish.

I replaced once more, with 6 tracks with sound records from the area
West of the river Rhine.
I will remove these tracks after a few days.

1. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/schenke.wma
a text in plat from Düsseldorf

track 15 "Schenke mäkt Spaß" of 16 tracks
from CD "Monika Voss, Düsseldorwer Dönekes", Droste Verlag Düsseldorf
2:56 min 1.4 Mb

The text is also printed pp 104-105 in:
"Monika Voss, Düsseldorwer Dönekes zom Schmökere on Schmolzele"
Droste Verlag, 1997, ISBN 3-7700-1082-5, 200 pp

This variant falls in the definition of Limburgish used in the Benelux
"iCH maaK", though obviously due to the distance and "Germanisation"
there is little more than the "elements of the definition" in common
between Limburgish and Düsseldorf dialect. I guess it proves one should
be reticent to use isogloss delimitations for regional language boundary
definitions, especially when they cross borders.

2. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/koffer.wma
a sketch in German with a Krefelder color

Track 13 "Ich krie dä Koffer nich auf!" of 21 tracks
from CD "Paul & Billa, Jochen Butz"
Welle Niederrhein & Rheinische Post
2:21 min 1.1 Mb

Typical for so-called cabaret presentations is:
one takes just a very limited coloration from the dialect, not exceeding
the critical borderline that non-dialect speakers would not understand.

3. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/pau.wma

Track  13 "Et Jöngsje vaijen Pau" of 13 tracks from
CD  "Et Jöngsje vaijen Pau, Lieder und Gedichte in Aachener Mundart, von
und mit Karl Kruse"
GEMA CD 096 389
4:50 min, 2 Mb

A song in dialect from Aachen.
Aachener dialect is classified as Ripuarisch, not Limburgish. However it
sounds very familiar to Southern Limburgers, especially when spoken,
because of the "melody" of the spoken language. Curiously the "rythm and
tune", not found back in written texts, creates, at least to me, more
feeling of similarity than morphological isogloss differences.

4. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/oecher.wma

Track 1 "Öcher Sproech" of 28 tracks
from CD "90 Jahre Öcher Platt e.V., Lösticher Oche ... wie's live(t) und
lebt!
0:43 min 0.35 Mb
A very brief text in and about Aachen dialect

5. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/platt.wma

Track 9 "Vür kalle Öcher Platt"
from CD "90 Jahre Öcher Platt e.V., ... jedanzt wie jesonge!, Bekannte
Melodien aus aller Welt aufgepeppt mit Öcher Platt"
Thouet Gema CD 093 797
3:13 min 1.5 Mb
A song potpourri in Aachen dialect (Carnaval atmosphere)

6. URL http://www.euro-support.be/temp/ferkens.wma

Track 35 "Ferkens" of 40 tracks
from CD "Leddchere än Jedichte van allerlei Diere, Öcher Platt, ejjene
Öcher Zoo"
GEMA CD 096 598
2:12 min 1 Mb
a spoken tekst about pigs in Aachen dialect.

This CD is made for kids, a little book with text ans scores of the
songs on the CD is published separetedly:
"Leddchere än Jedichte van allerlei Diere, Öcher Platt, ejjene Öcher
Zoo"
Öcher Platte.V., Verein fur Mundart und Volkskunde
1998, no ISBN nr, 33 pp.
